United StatesI'm new to quality Japanese knives and fell in love with this Hankotsu right away. Absolute beast!
FranceI now have both. This Misono Hankotsu, and a Tojiro Honesuki. This hankotsu is heavy, I like the feeling when I take it in hand. It is however only 10grammes heavier than my Honesuki (185 against 174). Both are for right handed use, with a single sided hedge, not so easy for sharpening with my limited skills. Main user of this knife is my wife. Her conclusion is she prefers the Honesuki for parring chicken, whereas the Hankotsu is for her more appropriate to slice beef ribs. All in all a superb tool, delivered in a very short delay. Again the proof of the quality of the japanesechefsknife services. Merci !
United Arab EmiratesThis Misono Molybdenum Steel Series No.542 Hankotsu 145mm (5.7inch) handle is impressive. Feels very sturdy and thick matches my big palm. Gread delivery service as usual
FranceHankotsu review The first impression I had when i grab the knife in my hands was that this is the most solid knife I ever touch. The most interesting thing is that when I tried to debone a chicken with the classic European way I find some difficulty cause of the hardness of the steel. I realized that I have to search and learn the Japanese way of using this knife for debone. In every other use I have with it like slice sashimi,clean convective tissues or cut meat potions for grilling is the best. I am very pleased of this knife and hope to expand my knowledge with it.
NetherlandsA hefty knife, evenly balanced, has a very nice grip to it and it's crazy sharp.
